    (Part 2 of 3) The current Dwell also looks at modern prefab housing and how it has changed over the years. I think back to those trucks with half a house rolling down the highway and thinking how incredibly ugly they were. It is still somewhat of a dirty word and is not looked on with much appreciation. But think about this. There are some really cool architects and designers out there working to change that image and not just from a design perspective. What prefab does give us is the ability to really control the building environment, cut cost and waste in manufacturing and keep building sites free of most of the debris and wasted materials that is so common to current conventional building construction.
